How to mention different action in form on two submit tags?

I have my form tag and also i have two buttons in my form. How do i call different actions in my form on click of submit buttons.

Here is my code:

<%= form_for :attachment_metadata, :url=>{:action=>'delete_files'}, :html=>{:onsubmit=> "return confirm('Are you sure, you want to delete selected files?');",:multipart => true} do |f| %>
   <table>
     ..........Some stuff here..........
   </table> 
<%= submit_tag 'Reprocess', :class =>'button' %>
<%= submit_tag 'Remove', :class =>'button' %>

params[:commit] can differentiate the actions of two submit tags.
Updated:

@action = params[:commit]

it gives @action value as "Reprocess" if your click the Reprocess button and gives "Remove" value if you click the Remove button,

You can have two different form and you can submit your form using jQuery. in this case you can submit a form to a specific location. 

<form id="target" action="destination.html">
  <input type="text" value="Hello there" />
  <input type="submit" value="Go" />
</form>
<div id="other">
  Trigger the handler
</div>

$('#target').submit(function() {
  alert('Handler for .submit() called.');
  return false;
});

This is covered in Railscast 38. M sure it will solve your problem. Its very simple. Whenever your have submit a form, it will send some information in params hash about the commit you have performed, i would suggest you to have a look at railscast and you will completely understand.
